Isaac was a powerful, slow-moving storm packing strong winds and heavy rains that lingered over our state long enough to knock down power lines and inundate our communities. It was a storm that arrived slowly, left slowly and whose impacts are still being felt by many of our friends and neighbors.

The truth though is that no storm - no matter how powerful - could ever shake the generous and resilient spirit of our people. In Isaac's wake, just as in disasters past, you don't have to look far to find folks reaching out a helping hand to those affected by the storm.
